Eating habit

Have you ever noticed or counted how many time you eat and snack per day?

Have you ever thought i wish i would never pick some random food into your mouth?

Do you snack all the time, especially for women during the hormones period?

Then maybe you should consider your eating habit!

Before this diet, i was all of what i have mentioned above. I did not think nor count how many time i snack per day but i know very often. I always picked some random food into my mouth. During the period when i am about to have period, i snack literally every 2 hours! Ridiculous!!!!!

Changing what you are used to is very hard i must say!Maybe the hardest thing ever during the start of this diet trial but it is possible depending your will and motivation!

So this is the habit you should do
Set the time and a goal! A goal how how much calories you should intake per snack!

8AM Have breakfast

11AM have my morning snack

1-2PM have lunch

4-5PM have snack

6-7PM dinner

at the beginning it is hard but once you are used to it, it will be just like other habit you have. Its called creating yourself a healthy habit! But you know sometime you can make an exception e.g. when you having a family day or out with friends.

What to have for snacks?

SOMETHING HEALTHY fruit and veggies based of course! 

My current snacks are usually

- Rice crackers (find the lowest calories) with peanut butter

- wholegrain crackers with cheese

- Cottage cheese

- a bottle of diet coke (YES it is count as your snack this fizzy drinks!!!)

- an apple dip with peanut butter or greek yogurt

- Low fat yogurt

- Veggie snacks (carrots, broccoli, celery) maybe dip with some sauce or yogurt

- Homemade oat cookies 

- Dark chocolate

- Homemade roasted spicy chickpeas

For snacks, I would limit calories intake not to be over 200 calories per snack. It is very important for losing weight to control the calories! But if you are doing it for your health I would suggest more calories as usually we should eat 2,000 calories per day for women and for men is 2,500 per day. If you wanna lose weight you have you eat maximum 1,500 calories per day. So start checking your food product calories when you buy them! (My weight loss diet is low cal)

I will slowly make those that require recipes :) no worries!

But you can also make a little creation and start doing yourself too! it is a fun process.

Remember when you go do grocery shopping, buy healthy stuff and you will eat healthy!
